The long hike down to the black beach of Sólheimasandur is totally worth it to see this surreal scene. Over 40 years of rough weather is definitely wearing it down, but I'm amazed that so much of the wreckage is still there.
Eastbound SE98 derailed while passing over Shippenport Road bridge in Roxbury Township creating a mess for the EL. Reports stated that rotted ties on the bridge caused the rails to open up causing the derailment. The scene is looking westbound towards Lake Hopatcong with EL 432 on the westbound main at the front of the wreck train and 411 and C185 on the eastbound main just before the wreck site. Hulcher Railroad Services were on the scene with their "Sidewinders" helping EL clean up the mess. Thanks to Art Erdman for info about the wreck. 02-13-1974 Howard Kent Jr.
Another shot taken at Lower Upnor on the River Medway, Kent UK. This part of the river was the location of an attack by the Dutch fleet during Tudor times. There are many wrecks in the area though most are relatively recent.
